Show 14: Josie Long and Martin Williams: Investigations

Josie Long has teamed up with investigative journalist Martin Williams to uncover social and political injustices that can't quite be released publically in print media.

It's a smallish, intimate room with a stage adorned almost inexplicably with a number of potted plants (it turns out they're trying to see if they can add one piece of random rubbish they can find each day to the stage). Josie Long's passion for social justice and political reform blends well with Martin William's thorough investigative skills. They make a good team on-stage with Josie Long driving most of the humour and some rather charming obviously staged jokes for Martin Williams to share the comedy torch.

It's refreshing to see Josie Long's bright enthusiastic optimism for the future, despite how bleak it may seem for us left-leaning citizens. There's light at the end as Long and Williams show how Williams' investigations led to the (minor) disciplining of a Baronness and revealing that literally anyone in the UK can apply to be a Lord.

Overall it's a charming and fun hour of commentary about social injustice and political corruption.
